Internet safety is not always about what not to do online. One part of being safe online is knowing what is ok to post. Each family has different views on what is ok to post on the internet. Take the time to have a tech moment with your children by sitting down and making a list of what is ok to post. You will not always be there to help them know what is ok to post, so share these questions that will help your child decide if it is ok to post:

“Would I be happy if my parent, guardian or teacher saw this?

Am I comfortable with people seeing this in a year, in two years or in ten years?

Will this upset somebody by posting or sending this?

If I send this, can I be sure that it won’t be shared with people I don’t want to see it?”

Parents need to help their kids minimize technology and social media distractions.

Technology has become a parenting challenge today. Kids today are spending too much time on their smartphones, which hampers their attention from having face-to-face interactions. They can’t focus on their school work because they want to check the latest updates on their news feeds. Because of technology, our kids are having difficulty focusing on other important things.

Teach your children to use technology wisely. It’s a great tool for online communication and learning. Find the root cause of their distractions to help them become better digital citizens.
